Pure Punjabi Sweets & Restaurant (Brampton Hurontario)

Jalebi

Crispy-fried spirals soaked in saffron-tinged syrup — best eaten within minutes of being pulled from the wok, before the shell softens

Burfi (Milk Fudge)

Firm, dense milk-solid squares — plain, pistachio, or rose-flavored — with a clean dairy sweetness that doesn't cloy

Gulab Jamun

Soft milk-solid dumplings soaked in rose and cardamom syrup — a reliable benchmark for any Punjabi sweet shop

Chole Bhature

Puffed deep-fried bread paired with a tangy, spiced chickpea curry — the quintessential Punjabi lunch and the restaurant's strongest savory offering

Dal Makhani

Slow-simmered black lentils enriched with butter and cream — good on the days it's fresh, inconsistent when it's been sitting

Samosas

Crisp pastry filled with spiced potato and peas — a reliable snack with house chutneys; nothing revolutionary but well-executed

Lassi (Salted or Sweet)

Thick yogurt-based drink blended to order — the salted version cuts through a heavy meal better than the sweet

Pakoras

Chickpea-batter fritters — onion or vegetable — best ordered fresh; can be oily if they've been sitting under a heat lamp
